    E: 14/02 J Brand 901 jeans legging in Hewson from Trilogy

    This competition is open now and ends 14th February

    Available in sizes 24-31.

    Question - Which era did the skinny jeans come into popularity?

    A) 1960's

    B) 1980's

    C) 2000's

    I don't know the answer here. I remember them being popular in the 1960's but those were for men usually. Women did not wear jeans then as far as I can remember - I know I didn't. They were also popular in the 1980's. I think the answer they want is 1980's.

    This competition will open on Sunday, 29 January at 9am. Visit this page then to enter.
    Though ladies in the 50s didn't generally wear jeans; Many very well known Hollywood female celebrities wore the 50's fashion of tight fitting trousers that had the same sexy silhouette as today's skinnies. By the 60's females' jeans were more than common (even though the zip was in the back) and they proceeded to have that tight makeover.
